In a super-sized episode, Mike & Dan break down a busy week for the Islanders and the NHL, and the inspiring words of Barry Trotz. They discuss wins against the Devils and Hurricanes, losses to the Rangers and Capitals and how the coach is bringing both a game plan and pride back to the franchise. They also go through the return to the Coliseum and moves made by the Oilers, Blackhawks and Flyers. Finally, Mike tells stories about familial team disputes and crashing a high school reunion to watch a game. Parental Discretion Advised for course language.
